Public bug reported:

The container (sharing some code with the webbrowser, uses the package
name (ignoring the app specific name) to set the application name, which
is then used in key paths for the running app:

- writable locations,
- cache folders,
- single instance server name, 
etc.

The issue is that for click packages with multiple desktop files (that
are supported by the platform), some of those names prevent the
individual apps to run properly. the single instance server name is
wrongly based on the writablelocation folder which is in turn based on
the applicationname. This application name is set to ignore the app
specific name and only care about the package name which makes those
click package file to properly run each app individually.
